Looking for a good deal on an Athlon64 Laptop

Just as the subject says I am looking for a good deal on an Athlon64 powered laptop. I will be using it for gaming and school work.

hey everyone talks alot of trash about them, but I've been hearing great things about the emachines line of laptops theyre reasonably priced and for $1649, $1549 amir you could get the M6809 with a 3200 64, 9600 pro graphics, dvd burner, and an 80 harddrive, you would be hard pressed to beat that, theres also a page on overclockers about how to overclock them

When the A64 laptops first came out someone tested some emachine ones and they faired pretty decent from what I remember. I have no idea how their customer service and repairs are so you might want to do some research on that first though. Its a real ***** dealing with poor repairs and replacements,

I can buy my sister's laptop that she used at her school, but it is 2 years old and I much prefer the Athlon64. The specs on her laptop are: 1.4ghz p4, 256mb ram, ati radeon, built-in 802.11b wireless network card, 16x cd burner, 20gb hd, and 14.1" screen, oh and its a gateway. I can buy this for $500. What do you guys think.

go for it. for $500 you cant beat that, best you could get online for that would be a p3, the athlon 64 would abviously be alot better, but it depends what you plan to use it for, my laptops the equivilent of the athlon 64 laptop I mentioned above, and you can use it for anything you would use a powerful desktop, but if you only plan to use it for word processing, web surfing and stuff like that, its sensible to find the best bang for you buck.
